Linemen are at significant risk for metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance compared with other positions. This may be predictive of future health problems in Division 1 collegiate football players, especially linemen
There is a strong association between obesity and both metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in Division 1 collegiate football players
football lineman found to have increased heart dysfunction (increased left ventricular hypertrophy and increased left ventricular mass) and hypertension, compared to all other positions, throughout one season.
Our findings should generate significant doubt about the presumed health of collegiate football linemen. That is a startling conclusion. This conclusion comes from the fact that 49% of Lineman evaluated in this study were found to have Metabolic Syndrome.

Sports-Related Injuries Could Happen to Anyone
It could be just that badminton match on a winter evening, or an office football match. Before you realize what is happening you've pulled a back muscle or your hamstring. Playing tug-of-war in colleges and office parties is fraught with the risk of a rotator cuff injury. Cricketers diving to save
Article discusses the immunoexcitotoxic process involved in chronic TBI. This is likely to be the underlying process involved in NFL and other football players delayed neurological effects. A similar process has been see in combat veterans returning from the theatre.
full study of previous abstract: low carb and high fat diet found to maintain muscle glycogen equal to high carb diet in endurance athletes. Endurance athletes have high fat oxidation and this probably only applies to these endurance athletes; I would suspect this high fat oxidation would not be found in other short interval sports i.e. sprinting, football....
82% of retired NFL players <50 have statistically significant more blockage of arteries than the general population. n-3 in this study was shown to improve the lipid profile in these individuals. Inflammation needs to be addressed
Treatment of exercise-associated hyponatremia with hypertonic IV infusion to correct plasma sodium levels is also a standard and accepted use of IV fluid infusions
athletes who present for medical care with hypernatremia who cannot tolerate oral fluids can benefit from IV fluids
Vaporization of sweat accounts for 80% of heat loss in hot, dry atmospheric conditions. This mechanism of water loss is the major contributor for exercise-associated dehydration
The rate of water loss can be quantified through measurement of sweat rate
Pre- and postexercise body weight measurements are the most common means to estimate overall water loss but are condition specific
It appears that 1% to 2% body weight loss is well tolerated by the exercising athlete
Dehydration, defined as greater than 2% loss of body weight, can negatively affect performance
In highly trained endurance athletes, plasma volume and sodium serum concentration were preserved despite a 5% body weight loss
In Ironman triathletes, dehydration to 5% body weight loss did not correlate with occurrence of medical complications
hydration should begin hours prior to exercise, especially if known deficits are present, and fluids should be consumed at a slow, steady rate, with 5 to 7 mL/kg taken 4 hours prior to exercise
Sodium concentration did not produce significant changes in the rate of absorption but was primarily dependent on carbohydrate concentration
Replacing 150% of body weight loss over 60 minutes has been tolerated without complications
IV treatment of severe dehydration (>7% body weight loss), exertional heat illness, nausea, emesis, or diarrhea, and in those who cannot ingest oral fluids for other reasons, is clinically indicated
A recent survey of the National Football League teams revealed that 75% (24 of 32) of the teams utilized IV infusion of fluids for prehydration in at least some otherwise healthy individuals
In the National Football League, an average of 1.5 L of normal saline was administered approximately 2.5 hours prior to competition
after 2 hours of exercise, the rectal temperature was 0.6° higher in the group not receiving IV infusion. Also, stroke volume and cardiac output were 11% to 16% lower in the control group versus the IV infusion group.
Recent evidence suggests the etiology of EAMC is related to muscle fatigue and neuronal excitability
no correlation between hydration status or electrolyte concentrations with EAMC
there may be a subset of muscle cramping that is associated with a loss of both body fluid and sodium
Glycerol is the primary agent for oral hyperhydration
elevation of plasma volume by 200 to 300 mL via dextran infusion resulted in 15% increase in stroke volume, 4% increase in VO2 max, and an increase in the exercise time to fatigue
Neither the tonicity nor mode of hydration resulted in improved speed of rehydration, greater fluid retention, or improved performance
There are beneficial anecdotal reports of EAMC treatment in elite and professional-level athletes with IV hydration during the course of an event
Plasma volume was better restored during rehydration with IV fluids at preexercise and 5 minutes of exercise. At 15 minutes, there was no difference between IV and oral rehydration
More rapid restoration of plasma volume was accomplished in the IV treatment group with no advantages over oral rehydration in physiological strain, heat tolerance, ratings of perceived effort, or thermal sensations
No difference was found in exercise time to exhaustion. IV and oral rehydration methods were equally effective. Heart rates were statistically higher in the oral rehydration group through 75 minutes of exercise, and there were higher increases in norepinephrine plasma concentrations
No significant differences between the groups were found for time to recovery, number of days with pain, number of days with stiffness, sleep disturbance, fatigue, rectal temperature, and loss of appetite
The current data suggest that IV rehydration is faster than oral
There may be physiological benefits of decreased heart rate and norepinephrine in athletes rehydrated via IV route
Postexercise blood 1 hour and 24 hours showed no differences in circulating myoglobin or creatine kinase
The use of IV fluid may be beneficial for a subset of fluid sensitive athletes
this should be reserved for high-level athletes with strong histories of symptoms in well-monitored settings.
Volume expanders may also be beneficial for some athletes
